A  SCHOOL  FOR  CITY  WELFARE 


Established  nine  years  ago  to  aid  in  supplying  the  demand 
for  trained  workers  in  the  social  phases  of  this  field,  and  later  for 
social  investigation  on  a  scientific  basis  the  school  finds  its 
services  also  needed  as  a  "clearing  house"  of  general  information 
for  social  and  civic  workers  in  the  towns  and  cities  of  the  Middle 
West. 

This  Bulletin  is  issued  as  an  extension  publication  through  the 
financial  aid  of  Mrs.  W.  Templeton  Johnson  and  the  Chicago  Child  Wel- 
fare Exhibit  Committee,  and  is  intended  as  a  handbook  for  Civic  Bodies, 
Women's  Clubs,  Churches,  Settlements,  Charities,  Schools,  Libraries,  etc. 
It  will  be  sold  at  20  cents  (postpaid).  Address  the  Survey  Magazine, 
31  W.  Lake  St.,  Chicago.  It  will  be  supplied  free  to  Special  Civic

Some  cities  are  able  to  maintain  their  own  municipal 
reference  departments,  which  give  such  cities  all  available 
information  on  the  failures  and  successes  of  other  cities. 
The  state  bureau  of  the  Extension  Division  of  the  Uni- 
versity performs  this  service  for  such  cities  as  cannot 
maintain  such  a  library,  thus  giving  a  clearing  house  for 
municipal  experiments  and  experience.

in  which  a  greater  number  of  students  are  participating 
than  were  in  resident  attendance  at  the  seat  of  the  Uni- 
versity, there  are  several  explicitly  designed  to  be  of  ser- 
vice in  the  public  welfare.  There  has  been  offered  a 
course  of  instruction  at  a  nominal  cost  to  official  road 
supervisors,  which  is  soon  to  be  extended  to  town  boards 
and  municipal  road  officers.  Eventually  the  University 
hopes  to  offer  such  courses  for  bakers,  barbers,  and  others 
whose  work  affects  the  health  of  the  community.

principle  to  the  public  schools  throughout  the  state.  In 
the  smaller  cities  a  number  of  schools  can  cooperate  to 
make  up  a  practical  itinerary  for  traveling  instructors.

for  special  organizations  such  as  women's  clubs,  business 
men's  associations,  civic  clubs,  boards  of  trade  and  high 
schools.  Many  of  these  lectures  affected  directly  or  in- 
directly the  general  welfare  attitude  of  communities  in 
which  they  were  given.

those,  officially  or  unofficially  engaged  in  social  or  munici- 
pal work,  to  keep  abreast  of  the  times,  held  a  twelve  weeks' 
course  in  1911.  The  university  plans  to  develop  civic

SECTION  "A"-CITY  WELFARE  BULLETIN 

Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthiopy 

Because  they  "talk  for  themselves"  the  exhibit  method  of 
graphic  publicity  has  now  been  widely  adopted  for  presenting 
city  welfare  data.  Indeed  budget  exhibits  are  advocated  by 
Bureaus  of  Efficiency  as  the  best  means  of  acquainting  citizens 
with  the  affairs  and  progress  of  government.  Rarely  is  a  con- 
ference of  note  held  on  a  public  subject  without  pertinent  illus- 
trative exhibits.  Exhibits  of  child  welfare,  city  planning,  hous- 
ing, health,  safety  appliances  and  industry  are  familiar  examples. 
The  list  given  on  page  13  specifies  some  leading  exhibits  of 
different  types. 

SOCIAL  MUSEUMS  AS  EXHIBIT  CLEARING  HOUSES 

On  the  close  and  break  up  of  such  exhibits  much  valuable 
material  expensive  in  the  preparation,  remains  on  hand  and  the 
best  of  it  is  very  likely  to  find  its  way  into  a  Social  Museum. 

The  Pittsburgh  Survey  Exhibit  of  1909,  for  example,  was  deposited  in  the 
Harvard  Social  Museum;  civic  exhibits  at  the  St.  Louis  Exposition,  after  a  short 
use  at  the  Municipal  Museum  of  Chicago,  were  deposited  in  the  Chicago  School  of 
Civics  Social  Museum. 

For  educational  imiiortanee  of  the  Social  Museum  see  brochure  on  "The  Social 
Museum  as  an  Instrument  of  University  Teaching"  by  Prof.  F.  G.  Peabody,  Director 
of  the  Dept.  of  A])i)Iied  Kthies.  Harvard  University,  and  isstied  as  No.  4  of  the

Exhibit  **Clearing  Houses" 


BOSTON.     Social  Museum — Harvard  University,  Cambridge,  Mass. 

Professor   F.   G.   Peabody,   Director. 

Developed  by  the  faculty  of  the  Department  of  Applied  Ethics, 
Harvard  University.  Substantial  equipment  and  extensive  collec- 
tions illustrating  Social  Settlements,  Housing  and  City  Planning, 
Industrial  Conditions,  Social  Surveys,  etc.  Large  library  of  reference 

Such  a  museum  is  undertaken  on  the  assumption  that  the  most  immediate 
need  of  students  concerned  with  the  social  tjuestion  is,  not  merely  enthusiasm 
or  symi)athy  or  self-sacritice  or  money,  but  wisdom,  discretion,  the  scientitic 
interpretation  and  comparison  of  facts;  and  that  this  application  of  the  induc- 
tive method  may  be  encouraged  by  setting  l)efore  the  student  in  graphical 
illustrations  the  evidences  of  progress  in  various  countries  and  putting  at  his 
command     the    fund    of    experience    accumulated    in    various    parts    of     the    world. 

The  remoteness  of  the  United  States  from  other  countries  and  the  brevity 
of  its  social  history  make  this  provision  of  illustrative  material  all  the  more 
necessary. 

Germany  has  much  to  teach  the  United  States  of  municipal  administration, 
but  may  learn  much  from  America  concerning  the  free  conciliation  of  labor- 
disputes,  the  treatment  of  juvenile  delinquents,  or  the  work  of  social  settle- 
ments. England  offers  to  Americans  instruction  in  trade-uni(niism  and  industrial 
co-operation,  but  must  turn  to  the  United  States  for  lessons  in  the  reform  of 
the  drink-traffic  and  the  checking  of  the  drink-habit.  For  all  such  purposes  of 
comparative  study  the  Social  Museum  provides  what  a  museum  of  comparative 
zoology  offers  to  the  naturalist,  and  becomes  the  corrective  of  hasty  judgments 
and  the  prerequisite  of  judicious  conclusions. — Prom  Prof.  Frances  G.  Pea-

Recurrent  Exhibitions 


City  and  commercial  clubs  or  other  organizations  with  siz- 
able local  headquarters  and  more  or  less  wall  space  available, 
have   an   exceptional    opportunity    in   their   valuable   downtown 
central  locations  for  reaching  the  public  and  the  press  through- 
a  succession  of  exhibitions.  ,J' 

What  the  Art  Institute  of  Chicago  has  achieved  in  its  field?* 
by  its  continual  round  of  popular  exhibitions,  the  Chicago  City 
Club  began  in  a  way  at  the  opening  of  its  new  domicile  last 
January,  and  is  now  carrying  on  in  the  form  of  specialized  ex- 
hibits on  Transportation,  Housing,  etc.  The  Civic  League  of 
St.  Louis  is  adopting  the  same  plan,  which  is  of  course  feasible 
for  other  cities.  With  the  increase  in  number  of  such  exhibits  it 
is  to  be  hoped  some  system  may  be  organized  (on  the  plan 
adopted  by  the  artists'  societies  of  different  American  cities)  for 
country-wide  circulation  of  city  club  exhibits.

exhibits  so  that  only  a  small  exhibition  committee  of  the  club  is  needed 
to   correlate   the  work  of  all. 

The  maps,  drawings,  placards,  etc.,  are  either  hung  in  frames  from 
the  mouldings  or  tacked  into  composition  board  suspended  before  the 
walls.  A  printed  catalog  of  the  exhibits  drives  home  the  points  and 
furnishes  "copy"  for  the  newspapers.  Some  of  the  subjects  or  "seed 
thoughts"  chosen  for  illumination  are  of  growing  importance  and  sug- 
gestion for  any  city,  such  as  social  centers,  vocational  training,  sani- 
tary conditions  in  the  schools,  playgrounds,  housing  regulation,  prevent- 
able diseases,  perils  of  the  child,  improved  police  stations,  reducing 
burial  cost,  short  ballot,  building  regulation,  building  zones,  improved 
street  cleaning,  lessening  waste  of  water,  improved  accounting  systems.

City  Budget  Exhibits' 


EiX  H  1  B  1  T  S 


The  free-to-all  Budget  Show  ar- 
ranged at  a  cost  of  $25,000  by  a 
committee  representing  the  various 
municipal  department  heads  of  the 
City  of  New  York  opens  to-day  for 
a  month's  run  in  the  old  Tefft- 
Weller  building  on  Broadway,  be- 
tween Duane  and  Worth  streets, 
where  4.5,000  square  feet  of  space 
on  three  floors  are  taken  up  witli 
350  booths  all  filled  with  exhibits 
in   the   good   old   county   fair   style. 

It  is,  in  fact,  a  sort  of  metro- 
politan fair,  organized  with  the 
object  of  encouraging  and  promot- 
ing taxpaying.  The  purpose,  in 
other  words,  is  to  show  New  York 
taxpayers  by  actual  kindergarten 
demonstration  just  how  the  city 
officials  are  spending  their  $16;!,- 
000,000  this  year.— New  York  Even-

ATLANTA. 

Whenever  onu  pays  out  money  as  taxes, 
one  is  immediately  seized  with  that  show 
me  feeling  as  to  how  it  is  to  be  spent 

New  York  has  therefore  devised  this 
sort  of  "shownie"  show,  and  has  invited 
its   citizens   to   come   and   be   shown. 

Publicity  for  public  work  and  expendi 
ture  of  all  kinds  is  a  growing  demand 
everywhere.  Its  benefits  are  twofold.  Ii 
prevents  graft  and  it  educates  the  people 
in  community  needs  and  community  ac- 
tivities.— Atlanta   Georgian.

The  first  two  days  of  the  Budget  Ex- 
hibition in  New  York  City  attracted  100,- 
000  persons.  The  show  will  continue 
through  the  month,  and  it  is  expected  thai 
a  total  of  a  million  people  will  be  brought 
in  touch  with  the  concrete  demonstrations 
of  what  has  been  done  and  what  needs  to 
be  done  in  the  way  of  improved  adminis- 
tration. 

The  New  York  Budget  Exhibit  is  a 
great  educational  course  in  municipal  econ-

every  city. — Boston  Herald.

PHILADELPHIA. 

New  York  Inis  opened  a  budget 
exposition,  wherein  all  the  operations  of 
the  city  government  are  carried  on  in 
miniature,  and  there  are  endless  diagrams 
and  summary  statements  calculated  to  in- 
form the  citizen  why  the  city  takes  so 
much  money  from  him  and  what  it  does 
with  it. 

The  heads  of  the  various  municipal  de- 
partments in  rotation  give  addresses  ex- 
plaining the  functions  of  their  offices  and 
how  much  money  thev  need. — Philadelphia 
Record. 

BALTIMORE. 
That  fiscal  drama  entitled  "The  Spend- 
ers" opened  to-day  in  the  Budget  Theatre 
330  Broadway,  with  a  large  cast  and  ten 
carloads  of  scenery.  Instructive,  enter- 
taining and  strictly  moral,  especially  with 
regard  to  its  moving  pictures  and  other 
accessories,  the  production  held  the  boards 
all  day.  Those  who  do  not  agree  with  all 
the  lines  are  invited  to  walk  right  uj) 
to   the   stage   and   speak   their   minds. 

It  will  cost  the  city  all  of  the  $25,000 
which  has  been  appropriated  bv  the  Board 
of  Aldermen  for  the  show,  but  the  authori- 
ties think  that  it  will  be  worth  the  money 
if  they  can  convince  the  citizens  of  New 
York  that  every  inhabitant  of  the  metrop- 
olis is  a  partner  in  its  financial  manage- 
ment.— Baltimore   Sun.

CHICAGO  WOMAN'S  CITY  CLUB  PLAN 

A  live  method  of  advancing  city  welfare  v^^as  very  success- 
fully carried  out  by  the  Woman's  City  Club  of  Chicago  this 
present  winter  and  spring.  It  is  a  combination  of  an  Exhibit 
and  Civic  Institute.  The  plan  on  perhaps  a  small  scale  is  also 
applicable  to  other  cities,  and  may  be  suggestive  to  public  spirited 
men  and  women  who  appreciate  the  present  urgent  need  for  civic 
publicity. 

HALLS  AND  CO-OPERATION  SECURED 

At  almost  weekly  intervals  an  exhibit  has  been  held  suc- 
cessively at  various  centers  such  as  the  Chicago  normal  school, 
grade  schools,  park  field  houses,  settlements,  etc. — half  of  them 
at  school  centers.  Attendance  has  run  as  high  as  29,500  persons 
at  Seward  Park,  and  at  some  of  the  schools  the  attendance  has 
ranged  from  3,000  to  4,500  persons.  90,000  people  visited  the 
fourteen  exhibits. 

Not  only  is  the  liberal  co-operation  of  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion (granting  the  use  of  any  school  building  for  the  exhibit)  and 
Park  Boards  readily  secured,  but  that  of  local  Women'j  Clubs, 
improvement  societies  and  various  neighborhood  organizations. 
The  latter  provide  for  local  publicity,  distribute  announcements, 
placards,  etc.  Attractive  posters  are  placed  in  store  windows,  and 
stereopticon  announcements  in  local  5  and  10  cent  theaters  run. 
Notices  and  programs  were  distributed  through  all  the  public 
schools  of  a  district. 

The  Woman's  City  Club  bore  the  cost  of  transportation  and 
installing,  between  $500  and  $600.  W'ard  branches  and  co-oper- 
ating societies  bore  local  expenses,  including  advertising,  about 
$1,400. 

A  large  corps  of  local  explainers  served  voluntarily  in  each 
district,  and  the  local  social  committee  served  tea  and  cakes 
every  afternoon. 

RESULTS 

The  Traveling  Civic  Institute  has  proved  especially  effective 
in  awakening  the  co-operative  civic  spirit.  The  enthusiasm 
aroused  not  only  carries  the  exhibit  forward  but  promotes  neigh- 
borhood acquaintance  and  leaves  a  lasting  influence  on  the  local 
community.  Kindergartens,  women's  clubs  and  other  organiza- 
tions immediately  and  noticeably  increase  in  membership. 

The  plan  is  to  make  these  gatherings  more  and  more  a 
civic  institute.  The  results  of  the  child  welfare  exhibit  held  in 
the  Coliseum  last  spring  resulted  in  a  quickening  of  effort  for 
children  all  along  the  line,  and  the  Woman's  City  Club  is  now 
trying  to  develop  the  same  impetus  in  the  civic  field  by  these 
traveling  exhibits. 

For  further  information  or  advice  address  Miss  Anna  E.  Nicholes, 
Supt.  Woman's   City  Club,  31   W.   Lake   St.,   Chicago.

SCOPE  OF  EXHIBITS 

The  screen  exhibits  are  classified  under  the  following  sections: 
Recreation,  Laws,  Health,  Schools,  Libraries,  Clean  Air,  City  Waste  and 
City  Lighting,  Foods  aiid  Markets.  These  screens  i:re  8  ft.  high  and  4 
ft.  wide,  and  display  charts,  maps,  posters  and  pictures,  either  showing 
conditions  or  improvements  urged. 

Most  of  these  screens  were  borrowed  from  the  Child  Welfare  Ex- 
nibit  stock  (now  warehoused  in  and  circulated  from  Chicago  it.  manner 
described  on  pages  29  and  :!8  or  were  made  up  new  by  the  Club's  Exhibit 
Committee,  ^I^s.  W.  L  Thomas,  chairman,  from  material  worked  up  by 
each  locality  showing  some  local  need  for  the  community,  such  as  street 
lighting,  parks,  etc. 

In  localities  where  loreign-speaking  people  predominate,  the  text  ol 
certain  screens  was  put  in  polyglot  form,  sometimes  bearing  as  many 
as   five  languages. 

PROGRAMS 

Afternoon  and  evening  meetings  are  held,  at  which  lectures  and 
ivic  talks,  illustrated  by  moving  pictures  and  stereopticon  views,  have 
been  given  at  every  session. 

An  attractive  feature  of  the  programs  has  been  the  preliminary 
exercises  for  which  the  talent  of  all  the  schools  in  the  ward  has  been 
drawn  upon  to  furnish  band  music,  glee  club  choruses,  class  drills,  gym- 
nastic  dancing  and   kindergarten   games. 

For    specimen    program    see    piige    .'>0,    of  City    Welfare    Bulletin. 


BUILDING   THE   CITY  SENSE. 

A  splendid  campaign  of  civic  e(l\i- 
cation  is  being  carried  on  by  tlie 
Woman's  City  club  in  co-operation 
with  the  park  commissioners,  the 
board  of  education,  and  tlie  city 
health   department. 

The  basis  of  this  campaign  i.s  a 
city  welfare  exhibit  which  utilizes 
the  resources  of  the  remarkable  child 
welfare  exhibit  given  at  the  Coli- 
seum a  year  ago.  This  is  now  being 
taken  to  the  people  in  various  parts 
of  the  city,  and  in  connection  with 
it  are  given  lectures,  moving  ])ii'- 
tures,  singing,  and  folk  dancing. 

American  cities  have  been  mis- 
governed and  maladministered  Vie- 
cause  the  people  lacked  the  city 
sense  and  knowledge  or  awakened 
interest   in  city  problems  and  affairs. 

The  city  welfare  campaign  will 
have  an  influence  both  wide  and  deep 
in  stimulating  the  intelligent  self- 
help  of  the  people.  City  officials 
will  be  held  to  a  higher  standard  of 
efficiency,  wise  city  policies  will  get 
necessary  support,  the  heavy  burden 
of    spoils    politics    will    be    lightened. 

The  city  welfare  campaign  should 
be  taken  into  every  district  of  the 
city  and  kept  up  as  a  permanent 
process  of  democratic  education. — 
Chicago  Tribune,  April   12,  1912.

Traveling  Civic-Social  Exhibits 


An  increasing  number  of  the  quite  numerous  Chicago  and 
XcAv  York  organizations  Hstetl  on  page  ()9  are  preparing  or  send- 
ing about  the  country  exhibits  illustrating  the  causes  for  which 
they  stand.  The  achievements  of  the  Tuberculosis  prevention 
societies  in  this  method  of  welfare  campaigning  are  notable.  All 
of  the  leading  State  societies  have  traveling  exhibits  of  some 
kind.  Many  national  organizations  for  welfare,  as  well  as  schools 
of  philanthropy  have  tried  or  are  adopting  this  graphic  method 
of  interpreting  civic  needs. 

As  the  Chicago,  New  York  and  St.  Louis  City  Clubs  have  organized 
material  for  exhibits  of  civic  weMare,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  some  rotary 
system  may  be  adopted  for  conunuous  display  in  a  succession  of  cities 
somewhat  like  tlie  rotary  art  exhibition  sj-stem  that  helps  to  make  our 
Art   Institutes  so  popular. 


SOCIAL  NEEDS  OF  A  MODERN  CITY 

A  traveling  social  exhibit,  prepared  partly  by  the  students  of  the 
School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy,  was  sent  last  year  to  the  University 
of  Illinois,  to  Beloit  College,  to  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  and  to  the 
University  of  Michigan,  in  each  case  under  the  auspices  of  the  insti- 
tution's department  of  Sociology  or  of  Economics.  At  Madison,  the 
exhibit  was  displayed  in  some  five  or  six  centers  outside  of  the  Univer- 
sity, as  well  as  in  the  University  Museum. 

This  spring  it  goes  to  De  Pauw  University  and  McCormick  Theo- 
logical Seminary.  It  has  been  shown  at  the  State  and  National  Con- 
ferences of  Charities  and  Corrections,  and  is  available  for  general  city 
welfc^e  exhibits. 

,yhis  exhibit  is  shown  on  a  15  wing  frame  display  fixture,  as  shown  below.  Each 
wing  is  5  ft.  high  and  3  ft.  wide.  No  rental  is  charged,  but  all  expenses  of  carriage 
or  of  damage  (if  any)  must  be  covered.  Instructions  given  enable  the  frame  to  be 
quickly  set  in  position.  Address,  Extension  Dept.  Chicago  School  of  Civics  and 
Philanthropy.      For  style  of  frames  see  in  picture  on  page   9. 


ILLUSTRATED  SOCIAL  NEWS 

As  a  direct  outcome  of  this  exhibit  there  ha.N  been  increased  interest 
on  the  part  of  the  college  students  in  social  subjects.  From  several  of 
these  universities  has  come  the  invitation  to  the  school  to  enter  into  a 
sort  of  Social  Exhibit  exchange.  This  contemplates  co-operative  prep- 
aration of  special  photographs,  maps,  specimens,  etc.,  at  the  school  and 
forwarding  in  turn  from  one  university  to  another. 

A  number  of  organizations  in  Chicago  including  the  United  Chari- 
ties, 111.,  Children's  Home  and  Aid  Soc,  Chicago  Tuberculosis  Institute, 
Visiting  Nurses'  Association,  Elizabeth  McCormick  Memorial  Fund, 
State  Factory  Inspector,  Chicago  Health  Department,  Chicago  Sanitary 
Inspector,  Muncipal  Tuberculosis  Sanitarium  and  others  are  working 
in  harmony  with  the  School  preparing  exhibits,  illustrating  phases 
of  their  work  that  can  be  used  for  such  traveling  purposes.  Further 
information  in  regard  to  this  may  be  given  at  a  later  date.

SECTION  B-CITY  WELFARE  BULLETIN 

Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy 

The  Child  Welfare  Exhibits  spreading  with  such  enthusiasm 
over  the  country,  are  effective  instruments  for  promoting  civic 
welfare,  picturing  as  they  do,  little  known  city  social  conditions 
and  suggesting  remedies  or  ideals,  private  philanthropy  or  organized 
public  effort  may  realize. 

The  child  and  posterity  is  an  appeal  that  finds  a  quick  and 
powerful  response,  both  in  time  and  money,  from  any  community 
with  public  spirit.  The  administrative  work  of  the  exhibit  and 
the  research  committee  work  on  such  subjects  as  Homes,  Work 
and  W'ages,  Laws  and  Juvenile  Courts,  Parks  and  Playgrounds, 
Public  Schools,  Libraries  and  Museums,  Public  Health,  Philan- 
thropy, Neighborhood  Associations  and  Clubs,  afford  wide  scope 
for  the  intelligent  interest  and  effort  of  a  large  number  of  workers. 
The  social  energy  thus  unlocked  in  behalf  of  youth  is  applied  later 
to  city  welfare  problems  generally. 

In  the  words  of  a  prominent  social  worker,  quoted  in  a  recent 
article  on  "Child  Welfare  Exhibits": 

"We  are  all  of  us  learning,  for  the  first  time,  what  place  our  work  has  in  the 
city's  life.  We  have  worked  over  our  exhibits,  trying  to  state  in  concrete  terms 
our  purpose  and  our  success ;  then  we  see  our  organization  placed  here  beside  all  the 
others,  and  we  find  out  how  inadequate  we  all  are,  and  yet  how  important,  each  at  our 
own  job.  We  find  out  where  there  is  overlapping  and  where  we  can  use  each  other 
in  the  future.  And  then  we  walk  over  to  the  section  on  industrial  conditions,  or  on 
housing,  or  on  infant  mortality,  and  we  see  the  big  underlying  problems,  that  we 
haven't  any  of  us  touched  yet.  And  we  realize  that  no  private  organization  ever  can 
touch  those  problems.  Only  all  the  people,  acting  for  themselves  through  their  repre- 
sentatives, can  begin  to  make  a  dent  in  them." — National  Municipal  Review,  April, 
1912. 


NOTE. — This  section  on  Child  Welfare  Exhibits  is  issued  as  a  pamphlet  of  in- 
formation by  the  Chicago  Child  Welfare  Committee,  which  temporarily  is  undertaking 
extension  use  of  its  exhibit  material  in  association  with  the  Extension  activities  of  the 
Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy.  The  data  is  also  printed  here  because 
of  its  obvious  bearing  on  city  welfare  propaganda.

use  of  school  plant  for  social  purposes  encouraged.  Greater  city  regulation  of 
street  trades  brought  about.     Municipal  development  of  bathing  beaches  promoted.

spirit  developed.  As  Miss  Addanis,  the  Chairman,  stated:  "Not  since  the 
World's  Fair  have  so  many  men,  women  and  children  worked  together  for  the 
accomplishment  of  a  single  aim  as  have  the  "2,000  volunteers  who  were  responsible 
for  the  Chicago  exhibit.  They  came  together  in  the  stirring  conviction  that  the 
city  that  most  cares  for  its  children,  will  be  the  greatest  city."  Circulating 
exhibits,  composed  for  the  most  part  of  screens  from  the  Child  Welfare  Exhibit, 
were  used  in  local  neighborhood  traveling  exhibits  and  civic  institutes  by  the 
Cliii-aKo  Woman  s  City  Clul)  last  winter.  (See  page  18.)  City  Welfare  Plxhilnt

Kansas  City  (Mo.). — Convention  Hall,  Nov.  3  to  11,  1911;  attendance, 
100,000;  general  fund  about  $7,000.  Was  under  auspices  of  Municipal 
Board  of  Public  Welfare.  Used  200  screens  from  New  York  and 
Chicago  Child  Welfare  E.xhibits,  besides  making  new  special  mate- 
rial, including  150  screens.     Director  of  Exhibits,  Miss  A.  L.  Strong. 

RESULTS. — "As  a  result  of  the  exhibit  in  Convention  Hall  it  ought  to  be  possible 
for  the  Board  of  Public  Welfare,  and  the  other  remedial  agencies  of  the  town, 
to  depend  on  a  public  backing  in  a  way  that  was  out  of  the  question  before.  If 
the  Exhibit  does  not  produce  tangible  results  in  bettering  conditions  in  Kansas 
City,  then  the  impression  that  it  made  on  its  visitors  has  been  wrongly  estimated."

Planning  Welfare  Exhibits 

WAYS  AND  MEANS 

Found  successful  in  many  cities  for  developing  Child  Welfare 
Exhibits — methods  equally  applicable  to  General  City  Welfare 
Exhibits. 

Organizing. — A  small  group  or  committee  impressed  with  the  need  for 
informing  the  public  on  matters  of  urgent  common  concern  by 
exhibition  methods  calls  a  meeting  or  meetings  of  the  most  influ- 
ential, public-spirited  persons,  representing  a  variety  of  interests 
and  occupations  to  form  a  general  committee,  to  consider  finances, 
to  discuss  the  most  effective  time  and  place  for  holding  the  exhibit; 
and  to  elect  officers. 

Finances. — Financial  support  or  a  guarantee  fund  should  be  pledged 
before  the  exhibit  is  attempted,  whether  by  individual  subscriptions 
or  by  appropriations  from  the  city  departments  and  civic  organiza- 
tions. As  the  object  is  purely  philanthropic  and  educational,  no 
receipts  should  be  counted  upon,  although  some  will   flow  in. 

Co-operators. — Abundant  and  enthusiastic  volunteer  helpers  for  com- 
mittee work,  and  willing  co-operation  from  public  boards,  particu- 
larly the  School  Board,  of  course,  for  Child  Welfare  Exhibits,  and 
from  private  social  and  civic  organizations,  are  essential  to  success. 

Time  and  Place. — The  exhibiton  hall  should  be  of  such  size  and  shape 
as  to  provide  not  only  room  for  wall  exhibits  and  booths,  but  an 
ample  central  space  for  drills,  athletic  games,  choruses  and  enter- 
tainments; wide  surrounding  aisles,  and  if  possible,  gallery  seating 
accommodations  for  spectators.  The  exhibition  period  naturally 
should  be  at  a  time  when  the  schools  are  in  session  and  the  children 
consequently  organized  for  participation;  also  when  no  tense  politi- 
cal or  other  distracting  situation  is  dominant. 

Administrative  Committee. — To  a  small  executive  body  should  be  dele- 
gated by  the  General  Committee  full  power  to  act.  Besides  the 
principal  officers  of  the  Exhibit — Chairman  (or  President),  Vice- 
Chairman,  Treasurer,  Secretary  and  Director — the  heads  of  the 
more  important  or  general  committees  of  arrangement,  such  as  of 
publicity,  exhibits,  explainers,  entertainments,  conferences,  etc., 
should  be  on  this  committee  to  keep  all  lines  of  activity  closely 
related.      The    latter    keep    in    close    touch    with    chairman    of    the 

Section  Committees. — For  large  exhibits,  at  least,  much  invaluable 
aid  is  gained  by  subdividing  it  into  subject  sections,  such  as  Homes, 
Settlements,  Recreation,  Health,  Schools,  etc.,  and  by  placing  a 
committee  of  experts  in  charge  of  each  not  only  to  undertake  re- 
search for  the  Section,  but  to  have  charge  of  it  during  installation 
and  exhibition. 

Publicity. — -The  Chicago  Publicity  Committee,  as  the  Chairman  reports, 
used  every  conceivable  form  of  publicity — bill  boards,  painted  boards, 
street  car  and  elevated  car  and  elevated  platform  signs,  announce- 
ment leaflets,  circulars,  passes  to  school  children  (400,000),  posters 
(specially  designed  by  local  artists),  magazine  articles,  press  agentry, 
display  advertising,  muslin  banners  changed  daily,  amusement 
column  advertising,  handbook  publication,  prize  contest  cards,  pro- 
grams, pulpit  and  platform  announcements.  A  comprehensive  report 
on  extent  and  cost  of  this  service  is  available  at  the  Chicago  office, 
31  W.  Lake  St. 

The  recommendation  of  the  Committee  to  other  communities  is  to  use  every 
possible,  publicity  measure  for  the  three  weeks  preceding  the  performance,  but  to 
cut  down  very  materially  a  few  days  after  the  opening.  It  will  then  carry  itself 
if  supported  by  the  printing  of  daily  programs  in  the  amusement  columns  and  the 
services   of  a  good  press.

technique  of  exhibit  making,  should  be  secured  if  possible,  both 
to  provide  correct  materials,  assistance  and  guidance  for  the  physical 
execution  of  the  plans  of  the  committees,  including  appointments 
for  the  programs  as  planned,  and  to  attend  to  other  matters  of 
physical  management,  such  as  superintendence,  firemen,  guards, 
cleaners,  porters,  etc. 

Exhibit  Construction. — An  architect  is  of  course  necessary  to  design 
and  erect  temporary  stage,  booths,  decorations,  etc.,  for  large 
exhibits  to  give  harmonious  treatment  to  the  whole.  Wide  spaces 
for  aisles  and  in  the  booths  are  important.  These  spaces  and  the 
section  lines  and  as  much  other  detail  as  possible  should  be  blue 
printed  and  copies  placed  in  the  hands  of  all  committees  at  the 
outset,  so  that  all  preparations  can  be  correctly  adjusted  and  pro- 
portioned. 

Sizes  of  photographs,  labels,  signs,  backgrounds,  and  arrangement,  Bhould 
follow  standards  found  economical  by  previous  exhibits.  For  these  details  of 
exhibit  making  see  subsequent  pages. 

Explainers. — A  competent  force  of  volunteer  guides,  intelligent  on  the 
meaning  of  the  different  exhibits  and  sections,  should  be  trained 
by  preparatory  lectures,  for  constant  service.  They  can  be  arranged 
in  shifts  of  four  hours  each  and  should  cover  every  section  each 
hour  the  exhibit  is  open.  There  were  1,000  at  the  Chicago  exhibit. 
Those  speaking  several  languages  wore  flags  as  badges  to  designate 
the  languages  spoken.  A  central  "Information"  desk  is  usually  the 
headquarters   for   the   explainers. 

Entertainments. — The  committee  arranging  these  schedules  will  have 
a  large  responsibility.  It  must  see  to  it  that  the  general  programs 
for  choruses,  athletic  events,  folk  games,  drills,  tableaux,  pageants, 
moving  pictures,  and  music,  come  in  proper  order,  as  well  as  the 
live  exhibit  demonstrations  in  the  smaller  section  spaces,  and  that 
both  are  announced  correctly  in  the  daily  program  sheet.  Special 
occasions  or  festival  days  have  also  to  be  provided  for  in  con- 
junction with   the  committee   on 

Conferences. — These  include  large  public  gatherings,  held  in  the  evening, 
addressed  by  prominent  speakers,  and  the  daily  meetings  of  experts 
in  various  lines  of  welfare,  to  discuss  the  problems  connected  with 
their  work  and  the  directions  in  which  advance  is  most  needed.  The 
best  papers  or  discussions  should  be  gathered  for  printing  and 
placing  in  libraries. 

INEXPENSIVE  SMALL  EXHIBITS 

The  plan  of  organization  for  a  small  city  is  in  briefer  form 
than  for  a  large  city  or  child  welfare  exhibit.  The  same  general 
activities  and  features  prevail. 

To  illustrate  how  inexpensively  comparatively,  and  at  the 
"same  time  how  successfully  a  home-made  exhibit  can  be  carried 
through,  the  following  comprehensive  statement  of  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Hampshire  County  Child  Welfare  Exhibit  at  North 
Hampshire,  Mass.  (20,000  population),  will  encourage  small 
communities.

A  Small  City's  Satisfactory  Plan 

NORTHAMPTON.  MASS. 

"The  committees  for  the  Hampshire  Child  Welfare  Exhibit  numbered  seven: — 
an  executive  committee  numbering  eight,  and  others  on  survey,  program,  time  and 
place,  exhibits,  finances  and  publicity.  I  think  these  are  self  explanatury  pxcopt 
the  survey,  which  made  a  survey  of  the  educational  facilities  and  needs  of  the 
county.  The  expense  of  the  publicity  committee  is  comparatively  small  for  most 
of  the  newspaper  work  was  done  in  the  reading  columns;  a  banner  across  Main 
Street,  and  programs  distributed  throuarh  the  school  children,  with  illustrated  cards 
sent  out  to  the  country  stores,  were  other  means  of  publicity.  The  committees  num- 
bered ten  to  twenty  members,  chosen  to  interest  all  classes  and  to  represent  the 
near-by  villages.  As  a  result  the  work  was  done  by  a  very  few.  The  number  engaged 
in  the  work  of  preparation  numbered  not  more  than  fifteen,  all  volunteers.  At  the 
time   of   the   exhibit,    there   were   probably    a   hundred,    including   the    explainers. 


PART    OF    THE    HAMPSHIRE    COUNTY    CHILD    WELFARE    EXHIBIT 
In  the  City  Hall,   Northampton,  Mass.,    1912 


"The  ('xliil)it  was  held  in  City  Hall,  rent  free,  covering  about  3,500  square  feet, 
including  Hospital  and  Rest  Room.s,  but  not  the  stage.  There  were  75  screens  used. 
The  stage  was  used  for  games,  drills,  etc.,  while  the  formal  program  was  carried 
out   in    High    School   Hall,    some    two   minutes   distance. 

"The  cost,  met  by  subscriptions,  and  exhibiting  organizations,  most  of  which 
paid  for  their  screens,  was  divided  as  follows: 

Director    (salary    gift    of    one    woman) $200 

Handbook    (gift    of    one    man) 125 

Screens     (material     and    lettering) 195 

Installation     (carpentry,    wiring,    janitor,    etc) 122 

Publicity     55 

Program    110 

Office    (express,    telephone,    etc.) 40 

Total      $847 

"The  initiative  toward  the  exhibit  was  taken  by  the  Hampshire  Branch,  Mass. 
Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to  Children,  which  invited  other  organizations 
to  send  representatives  to  a  meeting  to  discuss  the  matter  of  holding  an  exhibit.  The 
length  of  time  used  in  preparation  was  really  less  than  a  month.  All  the  exhibiting 
societies  had  the  data  at  hand,  or  the  work  could  not  have  been  done  in  such  a  short 
time. 

"The  response  of  the  community,  and  also  that  of  Amherst  and  Smith  colleges, 
was  so  immediate  that  I  doubt  whether  six  months'  preparation  would  have  given  us 
a  markedly  better  exhibit.  I  would  not  advise  any  other  community  to  try  the  ex- 
periment,   however." 


Courteously   furnished   by    Mrs.    Alice   B.    Montgomery,    special   agent   of  the   Mass. 
Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Cruelty  to   Children,   which  developed  the  exhibit.

Exhibit  Making  and  Cost 

The  physical  parts  of  an  exhibit  require  much  time  and  money 
to  manufacture.  To  produce  them  economically  the  following  stock 
facts  and  methods  should  be  considered. 

Outside  of  the  special  three  dimension  exhibits,  models,  repro- 
ductions, etc.,  panels  of  uniform  size,  four  feet  wide  and  eight  feet 
high,  are  usually  adopted  as  the  unit  of  exhibit.  On  them  are 
mounted  the  photographs,  maps,  charts,  placards,  statements,  illus- 
trating a  specific  subject — one  subject  to  a  panel.  Six  hundred  and 
fifty  such  panels  or  screens  representing  the  work  of  the  New 
York  and  Chicago  Committees  were  shown  at  the  Chicago  Exhibit. 
These  are  rentable,  and  represent  subjects  generally  applicable,  but 
most  communities  will  wish  to  supplement  them  by  screens  on  local 
conditions  made  new  for  the  occasion. 

Exhibit  Loans.- — Before  undertaking  to  prepare  new  material,  committees  on  exhibits 
with  a  view  to  borrowing  should  consult  the  list  of  civic  ehibits,  also  of 
Special  Child  Welfare  screens  from  the  Chicago  and  New  York  Exhibits  as  in- 
deed on  previous  pages  are  rented  at  $3.00  per  screen,  f.  o.  b.  Address  the 
Chicago  Child  Welfare  Exhibit  Committee,  31  W.  Lake  St.,  Chicago,  from  which 
also  a  few  exhibits  in  the  round — such  as  standards  of  clothing,  box  furniture, 
children's  toy   shop,   health  models,   etc.,    can   be   secured   or   arranged   for. 

200  of  the  screens  were  borrowed  for  the  recent  Kansas  City  Child  Welfare 
Exhibit,  80  went  to  the  St.  Louis  Exhibit  and  calls  are  coming  rapidly  for 
future  exhibits  elsewhere.  Motion  films,  slides,  and  photographs  showing  these 
screens  are  described  on  later  pages. 

The  New  York  screens  are  of  canvas  covered  with  gray  cartridge  piper  and 
mounted  on  heavy  wooden  frame  work  like  theatrical  scenery,  with  exhibits 
pasted  on.  The  Chicago  screens  are  of  "composition  board,"  ^  inch  thick  and 
painted  gray  with  exhibits  nailed  on.  They  are  shipped  in  boxes  holding  8  New 
York    and    15    Chicago    screens.      Weight,    filled,    about    600    lbs. 

Three  dimension  exhibits  illustrating  the  model  home,  settlement  work,  play- 
grounds, library  work,  health,  the  school,  etc.,  can  usually  be  obtained  without 
difficulty    from    the    local    community. 

Backgrounds  (or  Panels). — Composition  board  is  found  most  successful 
for  light,  yet  fairly  durable,  panels.  It  has  a  dull  paper  finish  with 
filled  wood  centers  ^  in.  thick  over  all.  and  comes  in  uniform, 
four-feet  widths,  and  in  eight,  ten  or  twelve  feet  lengths,  at  four 
cents  a  square  foot.  It  can  be  obtained  through  any  lumber  com- 
pany.    Exhibits  can  be  pasted  or  tacked  on  this  board. 

Painted  or  paper-covered  duck  stretched  on  frames  like  theatrical  scenery  is 
the  next  best  style.  For  the  more  expensive  duck  cheap  oil  cloth  can  be  substi- 
tuted.     Using  cloth  necessitates  pasting  pictures   and  labels   on  this  screen. 

Photographs. — To  take  new  photographs  on  "outside  work,"  interiors 
or  exteriors,  of  groups  or  of  special  features  of  social  interest  at 
different  points,  photographers  charge  from  $1.25  to  $1.50  (including 
carfare)  on  a  quantity,  and  give  one  10  x  12  in.  or  11  x  14  in.  dull 
finish  or  mat  print,  mounted  for  exhibition  use.  These  original 
new  subjects  should  form  the  principal  part  of  the  photographs 
used,     i 

Photographs  from  copy  furnished  in  5  x  7  in.  size,  the  best  size  for  enlarge- 
ment purposes,   cost  from  40   to   50   cents.      Control   should  be   reserved. 

Contact  prints  from  negatives  furnished,  5x7  size,  cost  from  5  _  cents  in 
quantity  to  10  cents  for  a  single  one;  larger  sizes  in  proportion.  Sepias  10  to 
15   cents  additional. 

The  card  mounting  should  be  carefully  done  with  special  materials  that 
prevent  warping  and   cockling,    and   allowing  only  half   to   one   inch  margins. 

Photo-Enlargements. — To  give  variety  to  the  photograph  exhibits  and 
to  show  up  certain  important  features,  enlargements  should  be 
freely  made.  They  add  very  much  to  the  effectiveness  of  the  exhibit. 
The  prices  for  these,  from  either  negatives  or  copy  furnished  (use  dull 
grav  finish^,  are  8x10,  30  cents;  11x14,  40  to  75  cents;  14x17,  55  cents 
to  $1.00;  16  X  20,  65  cents  to  $1.25;  20  x  24.  $1.10  to  $1.50;  20  x  36,  $3.50  to 
$4.00;   30x40,   $4.50   to  $5.00,    depending   on   quantity   ordered.

EXHIBITS 


Exhibit  Making  and  Cost 

Signs  and  Labels  must  be  freely  used  for  description  of  separate  pic- 
tures or  exhibits,  and  for  master  or  key  labels  for  separate  screens  or 
groups  of  exhibits.  Also  as  placards  or  carefully  worded  state- 
ments that  form  an   exhibit  in  themselves. 

If  these  are  tacked  on  screens  or  walls,  an  8-ply  double-coated  white  or 
rream  cardboard  .should  In-  used,  costiiiE  :!  or  4  cents  a  sheet  :  if  pasted  on,  a 
Marquette  bulk  paper,  costing  $5.75  a  ream  (500  sheets).  The  sizes  supplied  are 
22  X  28  in.  or  28  x  44  in.  If  sizes  of  labels  are  standardized  to  cut  without  waste, 
there  is  much  saving. 

Muslin  or  white  oilcloth  is  a  cheap  material  much  used  for  large  signs,  and 
costs  much  less  than  mat  board.  Oil  cloth  was  used  effectively  at  the  Kansas 
City    exhibit. 

The  ink  used  by  professionals  for  lettering,  is  Bissel's  lettering  ink,  which  will 
not  crack  like  India  ink.  Broad  lettering  pens  can  be  used  for  hand  shading 
work,  but  a  professional  show  card  sign  writer  can  probably  do  the  work  cheaply. 
Prices  of  prepared  lettered  labels,  for  the  smaller  sizes,  range  from  five  and 
ten  cents  up  to  fifty  and  seventy-five  cents  for  6  x  44  in.  Placards  of  22  x28 
or  28  X  44  size,  with  moderate  amount  of  lettering  would  cost  from  $1.50  to 
$2.50,   but  a  large  amount  of  fine  lettering  or  statistics  brings  up  the  price  rapidly. 

Printing  from  type  for  single  signs  is  too  expensive;  only  when  a  number  of 
copies  are  to  be  reproduced  will  it  be  economical.  Rubber  type  printing,  or 
Denison  gummed  letters  of  different  sizes  can  sometimes  be  used  for  a  cheap, 
quickly    made    up    sign. 

Painting,  Drawing,  Decoration. — Cartoons  in  pen  and  ink,  or  posters  in 
colors  are  very  effective,  but  cost  dear — as  much  as  $10  to  $35 
apiece.  These  can  be  mounted  and  hung  independently.  The 
decoration  of  the  background  or  screen  is  important.  A  neutral 
gray  harmonizes  with  nearly  every  color  exhibits  may  come  in.  A 
simple  conventional  border  design  stenciled  on  adds  much  to  th.e 
artistic  effect.  The  subject  heading  of  the  screen  is  painted  on  in 
4  in.  white  letters  (cost  fiO  cents),  or  can  be  attached  in  placard 
form. 

Ready-made  scenery  for  the  stage  can  be  rented,  of  course.  Flags  also  can  be 
rented  at  from  $1.00  to  $2.00  for  larger  sizes — 6  foot  lengths  and  up.  Decorative 
burlap   is   hung  at   about   25   to   30   cents  a   yard.

CHILD    WELFARE   THREE     DIMENSION     EXHIBITS 


Models,  Three  Dimension  Exhibits. — These  vary  from  miniatures  to 
full  sized  rooms  and  naturally  require  special  estimates  from  archi- 
tects,  builders,    model   makers,    architectural    and   plastic    decorators. 

A  number  of  firms  undertake  such  work  themselves,  or  in  conjunction  with 
other  contractors,  such  as  the  Architectural  Decorating  Co.,  1600  So.  Jefferson  St.; 
the  American  Decorating  Co.,  1405  E.  Irving  Park  Blvd.;  the  Historical  and 
Industrial  Pageant  Organization,  726  Chicago  Opera  House  Block;  the  Decorators' 
Supply  Co.,  2547  Archer  Ave.,  Chicago  Model  Works,  168  W.  Madison  St,  Chicago, 
and   similar  firms  in   other   cities.

Assembling  and  Installation 

Three  Dimension  Exhibits — Continued. 

Dummies  of  paper  mache,  etc.,  in  full  size  or  miniature,  of 
children,  or  grown-ups,  of  animals,  etc.,  for  "still  life"  groups,  can 
be  purchased,  ready  made,  of  large  city  retail  stores. 

For  apparatus  such  as  projecting  and  talking  machines,  etc.,  see  next  section, 
pages    27   to   30. 

Designing  Wall  Space. — Before  orders  are  given  for  any  photographs, 
signs  or  other  exhibits,  a  plan  or  "lay  out"  for  each  panel,  screen 
or  wall  space,  should  be  drawn  up  to  scale,  showing  where  each 
card  or  object  is  to  be  used,  and  its  proper  size.  If  this  is  not 
done  much  time  and  money  will  be  wasted,  and  the  result  probably 
will   be   an    inartistic   hodge-podge. 

Cross-section  paper,  representing  a  square  to  the  incli,  was  used  to  design 
every  screen  made  for  the  Chicago  Child  Welfare  Exhibit.  This  design  was  then 
reviewed  and  criticized  as  to  spacing,  proportions,  contrasts,  harmony,  etc.,  by 
artists  from  the  Chicago  Art  Institute,   or  Chicago  Normal   School. 

Floor  Plan. — On  the  floor  plan  of  the  building,  usually  a  blue  print, 
scale,  quarter  inch  to  the  foot,  furnished  by  the  architect,  the  con- 
secutive number  of  each  panel  and  description  of  each  model  should 
be  indicated.  If  this  plan  is  begun  several  months,  or  at  least 
weeks,  before  the  exhibit  opens,  the  constant  changes  necessary  in 
location  will  be  worked  out  inexpensively  and  systematically,  and  re- 
corded. From  this  guide,  installation  can  be  made  quickly  but 
accurately. 

Installation. — To  mark  the  actual  position  sections,  panel  screens  or 
models  are  to  occupy,  the  installation  manager  draws  a  chalk  line 
down  the  main  central  axis  of  the  hall.  He  then  locates  and  marks 
the  aisles  (which  must  be  amply  broad)  and  other  positions  by 
measuring  from  these  axial  lines. 

Outer  walls  of  exhibition  buildings  vary  so  much  that  measurements  from 
them,  rather  than  from  the  axis,  will  induce  error  and  confusion.  As  panels  are 
in  uniform  four  foot  sizes,  variation  of  a  few  inches  will  make  misfits  in  placing 
scaffolding   or   supports   and   additional    expense. 

After  rough  structural  work  is  built  to  the  chalked  position,  the 
chairmen  of  Section  Committees  should  take  charge  of  their  respect- 
ive spaces  or  departments,  under  the  general  oversight  of  the  Di- 
rector of  the  Exhibit  in  order  to  supervise  the  placing  and  number- 
ing of  the  exhibits  themselves  to  correspond  to  the  catalog  and  to 
be  generally  responsible  for  its  proper  interpretation  by  special 
literature  given  out  in  the  section,  and  by  explainers  or  special 
demonstrations  in  the  section. 

The  Decorator  attends  to  any  needed  draping  of  space  or  exhibits,  with 
emblems,  bunting  or  flags  that  harmonize  with  the  general  scheme  of  decoration, 
and  finally  the  general  superintending  forces  under  the  Director  attend  to  the 
guarding,    cleaning,    repairing,    and.  other   matter    of    maintenance. 

Demolition.— As  this  usually  has  to  be  done  hurriedly,  and  vigorously, 
all  valuable  articles  should  be  removed  at  the  outset  and  special 
guard  placed  on  watch,  as  petty  thieving  usually  is  attempted  at  this 
time.  An  exit  pass  for  each  exhibit  removed  should  be  issued  by 
the  chairman  of  the  proper  section  and  the  latter  should  understand 
that  his  responsibility  does  not  cease  until  at  least  all  valuable 
exhibits  are  withdrawn.

LECTURES  AND  PROGRAMS 


SECTION  C— CITY  WELFARE  BULLETIN 

Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philantrophy 


LECTURES 

This  list  is  provided  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  lectures  to 
cities  and  towns  in  the  middle  west.  Outside  of  Illinois  no  list  of 
lecturers  is  given,  as  correspondence  with  the  State  Universities 
will  supply  information  in  regard  to  members  on  their  faculty 
of  instruction  or  in  the  extension  department  work,  that  lecture 
on  civic  welfare  subjects. 

The  lecturers  given  below  who  have  personally  been  con- 
sulted with  reference  to  the  matter,  advise  their  willingness  to 
give  lectures  on  civic  subjects,  cither  in  or  outside  of  Chicago, 
on  the  subjects  placed  after  their  names.  It  must  be  remembered 
that  they  are  very  busy  people  engaged  in  daily  work  in  their 
specialties,  and  are  not  in  every  case,  immediately  available. 
Engagements,  therefore,  should  be  made  some  time  in  advance 
by  correspondence  preferably  sent  direct  to  the  lecturer  in  care  of 
his  institution.  In  all  cases  terms  for  the  lecture  must  be  ar- 
ranged with  the  lecturer.  Prices  range  from  gratuitous  to  $10 
and  up  and  expenses.  Where  lectures  are  illustrated,  slides  are 
furnished  by  the  lecturer.  Stereopticon  is  supplied  by  the  local 
organization.

CIVIC  ^'PICTURE  SHOWS" 


MOTION  FILMS,  SLIDES.  ETC. 

Motion  films  and  slides  are  being  utilized  for  welfare  propa- 
gandas to  a  surprising  extent.  Quite  a  number  of  the  Civic  Asso- 
ciations, listed  at  the  end  of  this  bulletin,  have  adopted  this  form 
of  visualized  education  to  spread  their  information,  even  to  drama- 
tizing the  subjects.  The  Russell  Sage  Foundation,  for  example,  has 
prepared  quite  a  number  of  motion  dramas.  Motion  film  companies 
have  pictured  activities  in  settlements,  charities,  schools,  play- 
grounds and  departmental  work  of  the  city  government  to  meet 
the  public  demand. 

Motion  Shows. — Few  realize  how  easily  available  this  form  of  illus- 
tration really  is.  To  make  more  widely  known  to  your  fellow  citizens 
one  of  the  many  different  subjects  for  city  betterment,  you  have 
but  to  arrange  with  one  of  your  local  motion  theatre  managers  to 
show  the  films.  Usually  they  are  glad  to  do  so.  He  can  get  it 
from  his  "exchange"  or  you  can  borrow  it,  as  described  on  the  next 
page. 

To  start  interest  in  the  film  at  the  theatres,  school  and  "wel- 
fare" people  should  be  asked  to  co-operate  with  the  theatre  manager 
in  arranging  private  views  to  be  attended  only  by  influential  persons 
and   the  reporters  who  will  advertise  the  regular  exhibitions. 

Send  to  Mr.  C.  A.  Perry,  Russell  Sage  Foundation,  400  Metro- 
politan Tower,  New  York  City,  for  illustrated  advertising  folders, 
posters,  etc.,  giving  the  story  of  these  films  for  promoting  the 
wider  use  of  the  school  plant,  if  only  to  see  the  striking  new  methods 
for  furthering  civic  advance  the  motion  film  and  theatre  makes  pos- 
sible. 

The  following  postal  to  be  signed  by  several,  and  addre.ssed  to  the  General 
Film  Co.,  19  South  Wabash  Ave.,  Chicago,  is  supplied  by  the  Russell  Sage  Foundation 
as  a  means  to  promote  the  freer  use  of  its  educational  film  on  Social  Center  develop- 
ment: 

Gentlemen:  . 

There   is   a   large   number   of   people   in    this    city   who   wish    to    see — and 
have     the     public     in     general     see — the     Edison     film,      "Charlie's     Reform 
(released   on   April    5,    1912).  •  ...  , 

It   will   enable   us   to    advertise   it   and   make    sure   of   seeing   it   ourselves 
if   vou  will    kindly    send   to    the   undersigned   the    addresses   of   the    exhibitors 
here  and  the  dates  on  which  they  will  have  the  film.     Very  truly  yours, 
A  series  of  motion  films  of  the   Chicago   Child  Welfare  Exhibit    (belonging  to   the 
Chicago    School    of    Civics   and   Philanthropy)    and    on    various    health    and    philanthropic 
topics,   was   displayed  to  crowded   houses   up   and  down   the   Pacific   Coast   last   summer 
by  an  independent   lecturer,    Miss   A.   L.    Strong.      Doubtless  professional   lecturers  will 
more    and    more    adopt    a    motion    film    equipment.  ,r     ,      t,t         t^       a    t^;^i,    Co„-„

$20,000,   a   chain   of   educational   theatres   in  which   180   films   have   been   shown. 

Film  Renting.— If  you  wish  to  exhibit  in  a  private  hall,  church,  etc.,

The  exchanges  will  rent  by  the  week  or  day;  $5.00  to  $15.00  a  day  when 
the  film  is  new,  and  as  low  as  $1.00  a  day  when  PO  days  old,  for  a  reel  of 
1,000   feet   long  .requiring   15   to   18   minutes   to   run. 

Films  are  submitted  weekly  as  they  appear,  by  the  manufacturers  to  the 
National  Board  of  Censorship  of  Motion  Pictures,  50  Madison  Ave.,  New  York, 
established  by  the  People's  Institute  of  New  York  City.  This  Board  of  disinter- 
ested group  of  persons,  clergymen,  social  and  civic "  workers,  is  glad  to  give 
information    about    films    to    anj'    inquirer. 

Care  must  be  taken  to  consult  local  ordinances  regulating  the  use  of  machines. 

Motion  Picture  Machines  and  Supplies, — Machines  showing  both  films 
and  slides  can  be  rented  (in  Chicago)  for  $15  to  $17  per  occasion, 
including  the  services  of  a  licensed  operator  and  all  equipment.

chased at  about  $185  (N.  Y.  Model).  Or  a  parlor  machine,  on 
incandescent  current,  at  $67.50  (from  Mackay  Sales  Co.,  36  W.  Ran- 
dolph St.). 
Address  the  following  Chicago  firms: 

Amusement  Supply  Co.,  105  N.  Dearborn  St. 

Commercial  Filmers,   173   N.   Green   St. 

Christian  Lantern  Slide  and  Lecture  Bureau,  30  W.  Lake  St. 

Moore  Hubbell  &  Co.,  34  N.  Franklin  St. 

E.  E.  Fulton,  154  W.  Lake  St. 
Daylight    Screens,    permitting    the    use    of    films    without    darkening    of 
rooms  and  consequent  evils,  tested  satisfactorily  at  the  Child  Wel- 
fare Exhibit,  Coliseum,  Chicago,  are  made  by  the  "Sunlight"  Metallic 
Cloth  Curtain  Co.,  1101  Fisher  Bldg.,  Chicago. 

Machines  owned  by  educational  organizations:  Board  of  Eaucation, 
Chicago;  Board  of  Education,  Evanston;  Dept.  of  Health,  Chicago; 
Chicago  Tuberculosis  Institute  is  about  to  acquire  one. 

New  films  made  to  order  cost  up  to  $1.00  a  foot  for  the  first 
copy,  and  five  to  fifteen  cents  a  foot  for  a  duplicate  copy. 

Lantern  Slides. — Stereopticons  are  now  in  such  general  use,  in  churches, 
schools  and  ciubs,  that  an  adequate  supply  or  exchange  of  slides 
is  the  only  important  consideration  for  the  civic  worker.  The  lists 
given  on  page  56  show  the  provisions  made  or  making  to  meet  this 
need — either  duplicate   slides   or   rentable   slides,   or  free  circulating. 

While  new  slides  cost  from  35  to  50  cents  apiece,  plain  (50  cents  to  one 
dollar  and  up,  if  colored),  duplicates  can  be  ordered  from  slide  negatives  at 
about    one-half    this    cost. 

The  free  circulating  system  for  slides  for  an  entire  state,  undertaken  by  the 
University  of  the  State  of  New  York  (Dept.  of  Visual  Instruction),  is  an  ideal 
educational    plan,    as    yet    not    adopted,  liowever,    by    Western    Universities. 

Automatic  Stereopticon. — This  machine,  while  not  practical  for  long 
range  projection  lectures,  is  very  effective  in  booth  exhibits,  or 
for  "demonstration"  talks,  and  for  silent  displays.  It  throws  86 
sHdes  through  a  funnel  hood  onto  a  ground  glass  22  x  24  inches  at 
the  rate  of  one  every  8  seconds. 

Leased  by  the  National  Automatic  Advertising  Co.,  202  So.  Clark  St.,  Chicago, 
at  about  $15  a  day.  Size — stands  52  in.  high;  distance  from  front  to  rear  of 
machine,    72    in. 

"Oral  Motion." — Edison  is  now  inventing,  it  is  said,  a  plan  to  hitch  the 
talking  machine  to  the  motion  picture.  In  the  meantime,  the  closest 
approach  to  this,  for  exhibit  and  civic  publicity  purposes,  is  the 
"Oral  Motion"  machine,  which  times  talking  records  to  revolving 
card  displays  or  changmg  stage  scenery. 

Leased  by  the  Oral  Motion  Co.,  431  So.  Dearborn  St.,  Chicago,  at  $50  per 
week,  including  12  specially  made  talking  records,  but  without  cards.  Extra 
records,    2    minute,    $1.00;    3    minute,    $1.50.

of  all  films  issued,  wether  manufactured  by  the  trust  or  independent 
companies  or  used  in  America — consult  the  Moving  Picture  World

GOVERNMENT    LIBRARIES. 

Because  cities  possess  only  such  powers  as  are  granted  them  by  the 
State  governments,  the  State  libraries  usually  contain  the  printed  data 
on  which  State  legislation  for  the  city  is  based. 

These  libraries  have  been  established  in  nearly  30  states,  and  al- 
though not  always  incorporated  with  it,  are  usually  in  the  State  Library 
at  the  State  capitol.  They  have  been  developed  to  aid  the  Legislature, 
but  the  law  establishing  them  often  specifically  provides  for  service  to 
any  citizen  of  the  State. 

Citizens  of  small  communities,  therefore,  where  the  facilities  for 
civic  research,  and  libraries  are  limited,  should  not  hesitate  to  write  to 
their  State  Library  or  to  the  director  of  the  Legislative  Reference 
Bureau  for  assistance. 

These  libraries  have  a  force  of  trained  assistants  to  aid  with  reliable  information 
about  water,  gas,  or  electric  railway  rates  and  franchises,  how  other  cities  are  hand- 
ling these  problems,  what  cities  are  obtaining  home  rule,  how  they  draw  up  their 
charters,  what  thev  do  about  factory  inspection,  the  management  of  the  liquor  trade 
or  the  tenement  evil,   etc.

LIBRARY  EXTENSION. 

All  the  progressive  Central  and  Western  States  have  organized,  often 
in  connection  with  the  State  Library,  a  commission  to  carry  library  aids 
to  the  people.  They  send,  on  request,  small  traveling  libraries  on  special 
subjects  to  Clubs  when  library  facilities  are  absent,  or  loan  special 
books  to  individuals  through  town  or  village  libraries.  In  some  cases 
the  Legislative  Reference  Libraries  previously  described  are  operated  by 
these  commissions   instead   of  by  the   State   Library.

LITERATURE 

Municipal  Reference  Libraries 

The  services  are  now  at  command  of  numerous  libraries  recently 
developed  to  assist  in  civic  v\^elfare.  A  group  of  libraries,  called 
Municipal  Reference  Libraries,  has  sprung  up  to  aid  the  city  officials 
primarily,  but  also   serving  the  citizen. 

On  May  1st,  a  Civics  Room  was  opened  by  the  Chicago  Public  Library, 
even  broader  in  scope.  Its  object,  as  stated  by  the  librarian,  is  to  meet 
not  only  the  needs  of  city  officials,  but  of  citizen  organizations  whose 
opinions   influence  legislation  and  administration. 

The  following  outline  of  its  activities,  copied  by  permission  of  the 
Librarian  from  the  Book  Bulletin  of  May,  gives  a  fair  idea  of  the 
service  rendered  by  this  modern  type  of  libraries: 

A  LIBRARY  DEPARTMENT  OF  CIVICS 

It  includes  as  part  of  its  material  up-to-date  publications  in  book, 
pamphlet  and  magazine  form  dealing  with  such  subjects  as  housing, 
public  markets,  electrification  of  terminals,  parks  and  playgrounds,  recre- 
ation piers,  milk  inspection,  smoke  consumption,  long  and  short  ballots, 
and  other  topics  of  current  interest  bearing  on  the  life  of  the  munici- 
pality. This  material  will  be  fully  indexed  and  classified  and  arranged 
for  the  most  convenient  use  of  students,  public  ofiicials,  committees 
of  civic  clubs  and  others  interested. 

Much  of  the  material  consists  of  pamphlets,  separates  from  maga- 
zines, and  important  clippings  from  newspapers  representative  of  the 
entire  country,  as  well  as  separates  from  American,  European  and  Au- 
stralian documents  or  special  reports,  topically  arranged. 

Manv  of  the  recently  adopted  city  charters  are  on  the  shelves,  and 
the  trend  in  local  lawmaking  is  further  exemplified  by  digests  and  copies 
of  recent  ordinances. 

Other  printed  sources  of  interest  to  city  officials,  aldermen  and 
students  of  municipal  conditions,  as  derived  from  the  messages  of 
mayors  and  other  officials,  publications  of  societies,  and  pamphlets  pri- 
vately issued,  have  to  do  with  the  making  of  city  budgets,  and  the  many 
important  problems  which  are  incorporated  in  budgetary  studies;  civil 
service  regulations,  and  examinations  conducted  in  connection  therewith; 
municipal  art,  in  co-operation  with  organizations  of  architects  and  other 
civic  bodies,  electrification  of  railroads  at  terminals;  and  many  other 
subjects   of  large  import   in   city  administration. 

University  students,  and  students  in  special  schools  dealing  with 
civics,  philanthropy  and  economics  in  general  will  be  given  freedom  of

PRESS  SERVICE 

The  Survey-  Press   Service,   105  E.  22d  St.,  New  York  City. 

The  Survey  magazine  offers,  free  of  charge,  every  week,  a  well 
written  newspaper  article  of  about  a  column  in  length  on  some  topic 
concerned  with  social  betterment.  The  range  includes  health,  civics, 
charities,  playgrounds  and  recreation,  child  labor,  juvenile  courts,  crime 
and  its  cure,  housing,  city  and  town  planning,  and  industrial  conditions. 
The  articles  are  "newsy,"  full  of  "human  interest,"  and  appeal  to  the 
average   newspaper  reader  in  the   smaller  as  well   as   the   larger   places. 

They  are  supplied  to  only  one  newspaper  in  a  city,  and  arrange- 
ments should  be  made  between  the  local  paper  and  The  Survey. 

For  information  as  to  how  this  press  service  may  be  secured,  address 
The  Survey,  105  E.  22d  St.,  New  York  City. 

As  a  social  worker*  visiting  as  Field  Secretary  many  cities  well 
points  out 

"Civic  club.s,  tuberculosis  societies,  women's  clubs,  etc.,  can  render  a  great 
service  by  securing  the  regular  use  of  this  material  by  infliiential  local  dailies.  Tuber- 
culosis workers,  for  example,  are  learning  that  a  broad  social  interest  in  the  com- 
munity lessens  to  a  considerable  degree  tlie  problem  of  winning  the  anti-consumption 
fight. 

"So  workers  in  other  lines  are  beginning  to  appreciate  the  significance  of  getting 
people  interested  in  the  general  welfare  of  the  city.  The  more  of  general  interest, 
intelligently  founded,  the  more  easily  possible  it  will  be  to  cultivate  interest  in  the 
specialized  topic,  and  the  more  likely  that  support  can  be  secured  for  a  particular 
enterprise.' '

STUDY  METHODS 


The  Civic  Club,  with  its  organization  into  committees  for 
investigation  and  constructive  action,  whether  it  be  a  Men's  Club 
or  a  Woman's  Club,  proves  a  very  effective  method  of  study, 
with  a  view  to  achievement. 

The  City  Club  (with  23  committees)  and  the  Woman's  City 
Club,  of  Chicago,  the  Civic  Leagues,  the  Voters'  Leagues  and 
similar  organizations*  of  various  cities,  are  good  models  to  follow.

Meeting  Evenings  at  the  Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy 

Workers'   School  of  Municipal  Government. 

A  successful  example  of  building"  a  civic  school  on  club  lines 
is  the  School  for  Workers,  developed  last  winter  at  the  Chicago 
School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy,  by  Mr.  John  C.  Kennedy, 
graduate  of  Cornell,  and  long  a  resident  at  the  University  of 
Chicago  Settlement.

STUDY     METHODS 

Workers'  School  of  Civics 

Some  hundred  working  people,  busy  at  their  trades  during 
the  day,  devoted  their  leisure  on  two  evenings  a  week — Monday 
and  Wednesday — to  learning  how  municipal  affairs  are  conduct- 
ed at  home  and  abroad.  Sixty  of  them  have  become  active  stu- 
dents and  maintained  the  regular  two  night  a  week  courses. 

The  meetings  are  held  from  8  to  10  o'clock,  in  the  rooms  of  the 
Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy,  where  the  students  have 
the  advantages  of  its  library  and  museum  material,  and  conference  rooms. 
After  a  short  lecture  of  .30  minutes  each  evening,  the  whole  class  resolves 
itself  into  committees,  as  shown  below. 

COMMITTEE  ORGANIZATION 

These  committees,  which  have  spent  several  months  in  making  a 
study  of  municipal  problems,  were  divitled  on  the  plan  of  the  prominent 
city  clubs. 

The  standing  committees  are  as  follows : 

1.  Municipal   revenues   and   expenditures.  8.   Education    and   vocational   adjustment. 

2.  Streets,  alleys  and  garbage.  9.   Health,   smoke   and   smells   and   noises. 

3.  Transportation   and   traffic.  10.    Parks,   playgrounds   and   beaches. 

4.  Gas,     electric     light     and     power     and       11.   Police,    justice,    penal   institutions,    re- 

telephones,  formatories  and   charities. 

5.  Water,   drainage   and   sewerage.  12.   Labor    conditions. 

6.  Housing,   building  regulations  and  fire       13.   Efficiency   and   organization,    civil    ser- 

protection.  vice. 

7.  General  municipal  enterprise.  14.   City  charters  and  city  planning. 

The  object  of  the  school,  as  stated  by  its  director,  is:  To  train 
the  workers  of  Chicago  for  intelligent  citizenship  and  for  active  par- 
ticipation  in  the   administration   of  municipal  afifairs. 

(1)  By  explaining  the  nature  and  extent  of  our  municipal  problems. 

(2)  By  explaining  the  powers,  duties,  functions  and  methods  of  the 
various  departments  of  our  city  government. 

(3)  By  informing  the  students  regarding  the  best  work  being  done 
in  American  and  European  cities  toward  the  solution  of  municipal 
problems. 

METHODS 

The  methods  adopted  for  this  educational  work  are: 
A. — Lectures.     (With  and  without  lantern  slides.) 
B. — General  reading  of  books  and  magazines  on   municipal   govern- 
ment. 
C. — Investigations    and    reports    of    standing    committees. 
D. — Class  discussion  of  committee  reports. 

There  is  no  tuition,  but  an  initiation  fee  of  50  cents  is  charged 
and  dues  are  25  cents  per  month.  This  fund  is  used  to  purchase  books, 
magazines  and  other  material  needed  by  the  students  for  reference 
purposes. 

No  single  text  book  has  been  found  best  for  the  use  of  the  class, 
but  books   most   suitable  are   indicated  on  list  given   on  the   next   page. 

It  is  believed  that  this  school  has  much  to  accomplish  in  view  of 
the  increasing  extent  to  which  the  working  class  are  interested  in  poli- 
tical afifairs.  It  has  been  pointed  out  that  the  plan  to  pursue  is  to  work 
out  satisfactory  methods  of  teaching  municipal  government  to  the  rank 
and  file  of  our  citizens  in  the  evening  schools.  Our  public  school  system 
has  a  great  opportunity  but  has  thus  far  been  unable  to  give  our  adult 
citizens  the  special  training  they  need  to  meet  intelligently  the  vital  civic 
problems   that   are  confronting  them   for   solution.

INTERNATIONAL  STUDY  TOURS 

Travel  has  now  become  standardized  for  Civic  and  Social  study  of 
cities.  These  European  tours  combine  observational  trips  under  skilled 
leadership,  and  conferences  with  city  officials.  Following  the  successful 
civic  tour  of  the  Boston  Chamber  of  Commerce  last  year,  two  somewhat 
similar  tours  are   to  be  carried  out  this   summer.

ORGANIZATIONS 

Civic  Associations  by  Cities 

The  centralizing  tendency  in  the  location  of  Civic  and  Social  bodies 
in  a  city  is  inevitable,  expediting,  as  it  does,  the  work  of  closely  related 
agencies.  See  on  page  71  the  organizations  housed  in  a  special  building 
in  New  York.  Chicago  needs  such  a  building.  At  present,  the  new 
City  Club  building  (see  previous  page)  and  the  Chicago  School  of  Civics 
and  Philanthropy,  31  W.  Lake  St.  (see  map  on  page  76)  form  two 
centers  on  opposite  sides  of  the  "loop"  district,  at  which  this  grouping 
is  evident.

TRAINED  CIVIC  WORKERS 


_  In  Europe  greater  strides  have  been  made  in  Municipal  Administra- 
tion because  the  expert  is  permanently  and  constantly  employed  regard- 
less of  political  changes. 

American  municipalities  are  beginning  to  appreciate  the  value  and 
necessity  of  expert  service.  Civic  and  Social  organizations  are  becoming 
more    and    more    insistent    on    securing    professionally    trained    workers! 

The  trustees  of  public  and  private  institutions  no  longer  feel 
justified  in  spending  the  public  or  subscription  funds  for  training  raw 
recruits  to   their   staffs   when   skilled  workers   can   be   had. 

Candidates  for  positions  or  those  already  in  Social  and  Civic  work 
whether  volunteer  or  paid,  who  wish  their  life  effort  to  count  for  the 
most,  or  who  desire  to  rise  in  the  profession,  recognize  more  and  more 
that  enthusiasm,  to  be  worth  while,  must  be  directed  and  reinforced 
by  knowledge  of  the  principles  and  most  etlficient  methods,  and  by  pre- 
liminary  practice   work   in   apprenticeship.

The  Chicago   School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy

in    This    Field)

A  register  of  Civic  and  Social  organizations  seeking  trained  assist-

Registrar,   31   W.   Lake   St. 

As  graduates  of  the  School  are  sought  for  and  usually  make  engage- 
ments for  future  work  sometime  before  graduation,  applications  for  their 
services  should  be  filed  in  advance  of  June.  The  Year  Book  of  the

Employment* 


The  Employment  Exchange,  however,  is  frequently  embarrassed  by 
applications  for  positions  from  students  who  believe  they  have  had 
training  for  such  work  through  courses  in  economics  or  sociology. 

Such  students  may  have  had  courses  or  seminars  which  deal  with 
the  causes  of  poverty,  the  labor  movement,  phases  of  modern  industry, 
or  theories  of  social  reform.  They  have  not  had,  however,  any  experi- 
ence either  in  the  iield  or  in  the  ofifice.  They  may  have  learned  why 
social  work  is  being  done;  they  have  not  learned  how  to  do  it;  and  it 
is  therefore  impossible  to  recommend  them  for  positions  which  require 
the  skilled  and  delicate  treatment  of  difficult  situations,  when  their  fit- 
ness for  such  work  has  never  been  tested. 

Fields  Newly  Developing 

To  illustrate  one  of  the  many  new  lines  of  civic  activity  that  are 
opening  vistas  of  large  opportunity,  the  developing  Social  Center  move- 
ment may  be  cited.  In  a  recent  leaflet  of  the  Child  Hygiene  Department 
of   the    Russell    Sage    Foundation    the    following   is    emphasized: 

"By  adding  a  few  specially  trained  leaders  in  recreation  and  social 
affairs  to  our  educational  corps,  every  schoolhouse  in  the  land  can  be 
turned  into  a  center  of  neighborhood  life  without  harm  to  the  school 
property  or  materially  increasing  the  burden  upon  the  taxpayers." 

Scope  of  the  Field 


The   following  list    suggests   the   variety 

of   positions   in   the   social   field   for   which 

trained  and  skilled  workers  are  constantly

Chicago  School  of  Civics  and  Philanthropy 

Professional  School  and  Headquarters 

Established  nine  years  ago  in  response  to  the  demand  for  efficiency 
in  civic  and  philanthropic  undertakings,  both  public  and  private,  leading 
social  workers  in  Chicago  to  co-operate  spontaneously  in  its  foundation. 

The  educational  methods  employed  involve  the  combined  use  of  the 
lecture  upon  methods  of  w^ork,  the  class  room  discussion  of  special 
problems,  and  practical  work  under  the  direction  of  efficient  social 
agencies. 

While  it  is  impracticable  for  academic  institutions  to  offer  this 
technical,  practical  training,  the  central  location  of  the  School  of  Civics 
and  Philanthropy  enables  heads  of  departments  and  social  enterprises 
to  contribute  a  certain  part  of  their  time  from  daily  duties  to  the 
teaching  or  field  work.  The  students  by  this  method  are  given  a  broader 
outlook  and  a  more  varied  practical  experience  at  such  a  co-operative 
center  under  apprenticeship  to  specialists  engaged  in  the  work  which 
the  students  need  to  learn. 

Opportunities  in  Chicago  for  Training 

Chicago  offers  rich  opportunities  for  training  in  Civic  and  Social 
service. 

1.  There  are  in  the  first  place  a  number  of  social  agencies  whose 
standards  of  work  are  uncjuestionably  high,  through  whose  co-operation 
the  School  is  able  to  offer  field  work  of  a  disciplinary  character. 

2.  The  pul)lic  institutions, — municipal,  county  and  state, — many  of 
them  admirably  conducted,  are  hospitable  in  admitting  students  of  the 
School  for  the  purposes  of  inspection.  The  superintendents  of  these 
institutions  frequently  serve  as  guides  and  assist  by  expalnation  and 
suggestion    in   a   better   understanding   of   institutional    management.  - 

:!.  There  are  many  able  and  devoted  students  of  the  social  problem 
who  contril)ute  as' members  of  the  staff,  as  special  lecturers,  by  advising 
with  the  officers  of  the  school  or  in  other  ways  to  the  instruction  and 
guidance  of  the  students.  , 

4.  The  presence  in  Chicago  of  a  large  foreign  population  repre- 
senting many  nationalities  who  tend  to  live  in  segregated  communities 
makes  it  possible  for  the  intelligent  student  to  become  familiar  witli 
the  character  of  these  groups,  and  thus  equipped  to  serve  them  either 
in  Chicago  or  in  other  communities  in  which  representatives  of  the 
same  nationalties  are  found. 

Headquarters  Service  by  the  School 

1.  A  meeting  place  for  social  and  civic  workers  in  the  city  or  from 
out  of  town  to  which  they  may  have  their  mail  addressed,  at  a  location 
central  to  the  private  associations  and  institutions  of  Chicago. 

2.  Assembly  Rooms  free  upon  application  for  board  meetings  and 
conferences  of  social  and   civic  organizations. 

3.  Directories  and  reports  on  file  for  reference,  giving  the  latest 
information  about  the  principal  organizations  in  the  social  and  civic 
field. 

4.  A  clearing  house  of  information  on  exhibits,  films  and  lantern  slides 
for  graphic   publicity  purposes. 

5.  Lists   of  lecturers   available   for   extension  work. 

6.  Registry  place  where  social  workers  changing  employment  and 
Institutions  having  positions  open,  can  leave  record  of  the  fact.
